No one questions that
for the last twenty years, drug abuse has been one of the nation's most
troubling problems. There is hardly a magazine or newspaper in the country
that hasn't run stories on the problems associated with drugs. Health
problems, Economic problems, Social problems, and Crime problems.

By now, you've heard
all the statistics. How experts say that 15% to 25% of employees either
use drugs at work, or come to work under the influence of drugs. How drugs
cost the economy over $100 billion each year.

But sometimes the
national statistics can seem so distant. The numbers are so huge that
they seem abstact and unreal. They can mask the real danger. And like
tornadoes and air disasters, we assume it only happens to other companies.

It doesn't. It happens
to all of us. If you have more than ten employees who fit a normal cross
section of the population, you can assume that one of them probably uses
illegal drugs regularly.

So what's the
problem?

Good question? You
may not care what people do on their own time, but we'll bet that you
care a great deal about what they do on your time.

And what habitual
drug users do on your time will really bother you. Many of them deal drugs
to other employees. They are much more likely to be involved in employee
theft. Often, they steal from both the company and their fellow employees.

Drug abusers are involved
in accidents four times more often than the normal employee, driving your
worker's compensation costs up. In fact, they are five times more likely
to file worker's compensation claims than the average employee.

They use 10 times
as many sick days. They cost their employers 25% more in medical and health
benefits.

So the problem for
you as the employer is very real. But unless you can identify the individuals
who are using drugs, there isn't much you can do to stop them.

We can review your
existing Drug Testing Program/Policy, in order to verify that it meets
all Legal Requirements and Federal Regulations. If your organization does
not have a Drug Testing Program/Policy at present, we can help your organization
formulate one which fits your specific needs, and assure compliance with
all Legal and Federal Regulations.

We can implement a
computer generated random selection process for your Company's drug testing
program, which will include documentation and maintenance of all records.
This will give each group of employees an equal opportunity to be randomly
selected.

We can educate and
train all of your personnel and supervisors in a comprehensive training
(1 hour) class pursuant to DOT requirements, the class will cover: 1).
the effects and consequences of controlled substance abuse on personal
health, safety, and the work environment; 2). the manifestations and behavioral causes that may indicate controlled substance use or abuse; 3). documentation of training
given to your supervisory personnel.

We can implement your
blind quality control program, and can supply you with both "clean"
and "drugged" samples for your urinalysis program. We can also
save you up to 15% on each sample through your membership in our consortium.

We can provide certified medical technicians and registered nurses at your designated locations nationwide to insure proper urine specimen collection, and transportation of same under strict chain-of-custody, to our Laboratory, Or you can choose to utilize one of our nationwide collection sites.

Urinalysis drug
testing positively identifies drug users.

When drugs are taken
in any form, traces end up in urine for days or weeks. A small sample
of urine can be tested for the presence of specific drugs.

If drugs are present,
our drug testing system will identify them.

The Double Check
System

Our Double Check System
positively identifies the drugs in the system. It is the urinalysis drug
testing system stipulated by the courts and by all industry experts.

The Double Check System
consists of two separate and independent tests which check the chemical
composition of elements in the sample. The first test is EMIT (Enzyme
Multiplied Immunoassay Technique), which looks for traces of one to twelve
different classes of drugs. The second test is GC/MS (Gas Chromatography/Mass
Spectrometry), which takes a molecular "fingerprint" of the
suspect trace and makes a positive identification.

When a specimen arrives
at our testing laboratory, it is received and processed under strict chain-of-custody
procedures. It is then labeled, a test sample is withdrawn, and the rest
is stored in a secure area. The EMIT technology screens for the following
classes of drugs:

If EMIT detects the
presence of one of these substances, or of a chemical compound that appears
to be the same as one of these, the sample is passed on to the second
phase of testing. If it doesn't detect any of these drugs, we report back
to you that the results were negative. There were no reportable drugs
present in the system.

Presumptive positive
samples move on to the GC/MS testing, which compares molecules of suspected
drug traces in the sample with actual molecules of the drug. If they don't
match, the results are negative.

If they do match,
we report back to you what we found in the urine specimen. You will receive
a detailed typewritten report covering
the results for each specimen tested.

The importance
of forensic testing

Scientifically and
legally, our Double Check System is beyond legal requirements. The results
are unquestinably accurate and reliable.

Chain of Custody

Most legal challenges,
therefore, are to the identity of the sample itself. The courts require
that the sample be identified beyond a doubt. The laboratory you choose
for your drug testing program has to be a lab geared exclusively to forensic
testing of drugs of abuse.

If it's not, you run
too great a risk.

Our testing laboratory
is the nation's most reputable specialist in drug testing. We know how
important it is that our work be unimpeachable. That's why our chain of
custody program is so important.

From the moment the
subject seals their urine sample and certifies it as his or her own, exacting
legal procedures are followed with two goals in mind.

The first is to make
sure the sample is correctly identified at every point in its history.

The second is to make
sure that the historical record of that identity can be proven in a court
of law.

Chain of Custody is
a painstaking process developed over centuries by law enforcement officials
to protect evidence. Samples are sealed by both the subject and the test
administrator and signed for at every point in transit.

When they arrive at
the lab, samples are assigned a bar-code identification and tracked by
computer throughout the entire testing process. Finally, positive samples
are stored under chain of custody, frozen at -20 degrees, for up to a
year, should they be needed as evidence.

Tough standards? You
bet. Tough enough to make ours the most respected testing lab in the country.

Our Laboratory
References

Our testing laboratory
is the largest laboratory in the country to receive certification from
the prestigious Armed Forces Institute of Pathology. They send our labs
hundreds of blind test samples every year. If they ever misidentified
one, our lab could lose their certification. So our testing lab doesn't
make mistakes.

That's why Law Enforcement
Agencies, The Drug Enforcement Agency, The FBI, The FAA, The U.S. Department
of Transportation, The Secret Service, The Military, and over 35% of The
Fortune 500 companies use our testing laboratory.

So if you ever had
to defend your choice of drug testing, wouldn't you rather defend ours?
